In Alessandro Acquisti’s TEDTalk “Future without Secrets,” I agree with his proposition that privacy will become one of our greatest challenges. Acquisti is right that big data has benefits, but he seems on more dubious group when he claims technology users must “fight for the control over personal information” (14:14). Big data may lead to further technological advancements that could benefit humanity. However, there were many worrisome facts Acquisti pointed out. He provided the statistic that 27% of subjects in a study by using only social media information, such as Facebook, that the first 5 social security digits were identified within 4 attempts (3:50) This could be dangerous, especially living in a society where our social security numbers represent our personal identification that is connected with back accounts, employment, credit cards, education, etc. One thing I found interesting was the advancement in face recognition systems. Using just public Facebook accounts, it is possible to take a picture of a stranger and find 10 of the closest matches using face recognition. Typically, the photos were accurate and the strangers name was identified as done in a study explained in the TEDTalk (1:05). These face recognition improvements could be extremely beneficial in connecting crimes with individuals along with other gains. I still wonder how many people interpret big data and look at the information collected. Is there a specific qualification you need to access these technological features? All this data is extravagant. Eventually, the data may exceed the amount time which could be spent interpreting it suggesting too much data could be taken.
